Fiei.d Oiwkbs, 1 Ho. b>. f I. The islands from Charleston, South, 4he abandoned rice fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the St. Johns riv er. Florida, are reserved and set apart for the settlement of the negroes now ir ade free by the acts of war and the Proclamation of the President of the United States. H. At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savan nah, Fcrnandina, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville, the blacks nmy remain in their chosen or accustomed vocations; hut on the islands, and in the spttle inents hereafter to be established, no white person whatever, unless military officers and soldiers detailed for duty, will be permitted to reside; and the sole and exclusive management of affairs will he left to the freed people themselves, subject only to the United States mili tary authority and the acts of Congress 8y the laws of war, and orders of tho President of the United States, the negro is free and must be dealt with as such. He cannot be subjected to conscription or forced military service, save by the written orders of the highest military authority of the Department, under such i-egulations as the President or Congress may prescribe, domestic servants, black smiths, carpenters, or other mechanics will be free to select their own work and residence, but the young and able-bodied aegroes must be encouraged to enlist as soldiers in the* service of the United ♦States, to contribute their share towards maintaining their own freedom and se miring their rights as citizens of the United States. Negroes so enlisted will tie organized into companies, battalions and regiments under the orders of the United States military authorities, and wUljbe paid, fed and clothed according to law. The bounties paid on enlistment may, with the consent of the recruit, go to assist his family and settlement in procuring agricultural implements, seed, tools, boat3, clothing and other articles accessary for their livelihood. 111. Vs henever three respectable ne groes, heads of fa rallies, shall desire to ♦settle on land, and shall have selected for that purpose an island or a locality clearly defined, within the limits above designated, the Inspector of Settlements and Plantation* will himself or by such subordinate officer as he may appoint, give them a license to settle such island or district, and afford them such assist ance as he can to enable them to estab lish a peacable agricultural settlement. The three parties named will subdivide the land, under the supervision of the Inspector, among themselves, and such others as may choose to settle near them, 30 that each family shall have a plot of tot more than (40) forty acres of tillable ground, and when it borders on some water channel, with not more than eight hundred feet front, in the possession of which land the military authorities will afford them protection until such time as they can protect themselves, or until Congress shall regulate their title. The Quartermaster may, on the requisition of the Inspector of Settlements and Planta tions, place at the disposal of the Inspec tor one or more of the captured steamers, to ply between the settlements and one or more of the commercial points here tofore named in orders, to afford the st t ders the opportunity to supply their necessary wants and to sell the products of their land and labor. IV. Whenever a negro has enlisted in the military service of the United States, he may locate his family in anv one of the settlements at pleasure, and acquire a homestead and all other rights and Privileges of a settler as though present, V person. In like manner negroes may jettle their families and engage on board <he gunboats, or in fishing, or in the navigation of the inland waters, without losing any claim to laud or other advan tages derived from this system. But no one, unless absent on Government ser vice, will be entiled to claim any rigid to land or property in any settlement, by virtue of those orders. V « In order to carrv out this system of settlement, a General Officer will be de tailed as Inspector of Settlements and Plantations, whose *dut.y it shall be to visit the settlements, to regulate their police and general management, and who wiil furnish personally to each head of a family, subject to the approval of the President of the United States, a possessory title in writing, giving as near as possible the description of boundaries, and who shall adjust all claims or con flicts that may arise under the same, same General Officer will also be charged with the enlistment and organization of the negro recruits, and protecting their interests while so absent trora their set tlements : and will be governed by. the Rules and Regulations prescribed by the War Department for such purpose.
